Semenya akanusha kumchumbia mwanariadha

South
Africa's Olympic silver medallist Caster Semenya has dispelled any rumours of
an impending engagement to fellow athlete, Violet Ledile Raseboya.
"There is no wedding. Don't believe the rumours you read in the
news," Semenya is reported to have said by the Sowetan website.
However, according to the Daily Sun website on Monday, Semenya, 23, sent her
parents to Raseboya's family in Polokwane to negotiate lobola - a traditional
Southern African custom whereby the family of the fiancé is paid for her hand
in marriage.
An insider revealed that both families were happy to negotiate lobola, with
Semenya's family paying R25 000.
Semenya first shot to stardom in 2009 when she won gold in the women's 800m at
the IAAF's World Championships in Berlin, before being controversially
subjected to gender testing.
